CXCR4 and cancer: In addition, it was demonstrated that miR-9 could suppress proliferation and invasion of diverse cancer cells (e.g., nasopharyngeal carcinoma, ovarian cancer, and gastric cancer), by binding to corresponding genes, such as C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4, Gene ID: 7852), talin 1 (TLN1, Gene ID: 7094), and nuclear factor kappa-B1 (NF-κB1, Gene ID: 4790).[11–14]
